People who are willing to work in tech and are in the US are overwhelmingly white and Asian. I mean - 70%+ of my current job is Asian. White is a minority. Black, Hispanic, mixed race, and much else is all less than 10% combined. Mostly due to candidate pool…
I think that is the argument being made.
People being priced out aren’t working in tech…
That said, if they have Apple salaries, I'm sure they can work it out.
That said (again), they might need to spend more of that Apple salary than their peers to figure it out.
So, it's a bold and unsubstantiated statement, but might have some truth to it. Idk, wish they would cite sources.
Also isn't it pretty racist /sexist to suggest that just because your black or a woman, you won't be able to commute?
